The war officially ended in December 2011 with a total of 4,422 U.S. troops killed, 31,923 wounded in action and undisclosed hundreds of U.S. military suicides. But U.S. contractors are assuming a larger role, high levels of U.S. spending continue, and the body count from civil unrest grows.

• 1,563 U.S. contractors killed (1,560)

• 116,170 to 1.2 million civilians killed* (116,107)

• $803 billion cost of war ($802.4 billion)

• $237.1 million cost to Eugene taxpayers ($237 million)
